There were 2 different versions of this LP, each with slightly different tracks. The CD contains all tracks from both versions.
Led by singer-guitarist Peter Green, the first version of Fleetwood Mac was one of England's premier bands and possibly the greatest white blues band ever to emerge from the '60s blues revival. 1969's THEN PLAY ON is their best album and Green's pinnacle achievement. Heavily influenced by Otis Rush, Green had an unusually lyrical style for a blues musician, able to draw on flamenco, folk, even classical guitar--all of which make an appearance in the ambitious instrumental coda to his major opus, "Oh Well." Despite the inclusion of superior modern blues songs like "Rattlesnake Shake" and "Show-Biz Blues," THEN PLAY ON is notable for its instrumentals. Standout cuts range from the dream-like voyages "My Dream" and "Underway" to virtuosic three-guitar jams like "Searching For Madge" and "Fighting For Madge," both of which feature Green's inspired guitar work.
Additional personnel includes: Christine Perfect (background vocals).
Live Recording
Fleetwood Mac: Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer, Danny Kirwin (vocals, guitar); John McVie (bass); Mick Fleetwood (drums).
Fleetwood Mac Then Play On Songs Then Play On Music Review Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Why not remastered
This is an absolute classic. It is a crying shame that it has never been remastered. The tracklisting for the currently available CD, which sounds terribly bad, is the US version. On the original UK release "Oh Well" was not included, however "One Sunny Day" and "Without You" were included. Running order is also different. Remastered, with original running order plus as bonus tracks "Oh Well" and possibly "The Green Manalishi" this would be a definite 5 star cd.

Guess it's worth the price of admission just for the incomparable "Oh Well". One of the classic tunes of the era, and relatively unknown. Crank that bad boy up!!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Blue Mac
Not too many others than boomers or affcionados know the early F-Mac.
There is some really talented guitar and
innovative music in the early works.
This is a classic to "Play On".

Purchase Then Play On CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Fleetwood Mac Bare Trees CD (1972)
Then Play On
 $9.65  
The real star of BARE TREES is guitarist/vocalist Danny Kirwan, who contributes the gorgeous guitar instrumental "Sunny Side of Heaven" and "Bare Trees," a funky rocker that was a massive FM radio staple throughout the seventies. It was new guitarist Bob Welch, however, who wrote and sang the modest hit "Sentimental Lady," a haunting, romantic ballad that remains one of Fleetwood Mac's finest moments. Christime McVie's "Spare Me A Little Of Your Love" hints at Fleetwood Mac's future direction. BARE TREES is a rewarding, ...

| | Fleetwood Mac Future Games CD (1971)
Then Play On
$10.39
By this album, Fleetwood Mac had only 2 members from the original line-up of 1967: Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. Danny Kirwan joined in 1968, in time for the group's second album. Christine McVie (nee Perfect) joined in 1970, and Bob Welch joined in Spring 1971 to replace departed guitarist Jeremy Spencer.
Not a Mac album that springs readily to mind, when you consider the multi-billion sellers in the catalogue. This was during ...
| | Fleetwood Mac Mystery To Me CD (1973)
Then Play On
$9.75 
Released in 1973 and now regarded as an important transitional album in Fleetwood Mac's long march towards superstardom, MYSTERY TO ME featured the lineup of Mick Fleetwood, John and Christine McVie, singer/guitarist Bob Welch and guitarist Bob Weston. The hiring of Welch had angered original guitarist Danny Kirwan and after a 1972 gig, the volatile Kirwan went berserk backstage and was fired. On MYSTERY TO ME, the follow-up to PENGUIN (1973) and the band's strongest album in years, the luminous elements of the future Fleetwood Mac were falling in place; Bob Welch's rambling, mystical reverie "Hypnotized" became (and remains to this day) a rock radio ...
| | Mike Bloomfield Super Session CD (1968) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Then Play On
$6.75
A surprise best-seller when it was first released, this mostly improvised pairing of singer/keyboardist/producer Al Kooper with two major guitar heroes of the day sounds fascinating all these years later precisely because of the distance of time--nobody makes records like this any more. The material runs the gamut from folk pop (covers of Donovan and Dylan), to blues ("Albert's Shuffle," "You Don't Love Me"), to heady jams ("His Holy Modal Majesty"), to big-band jazz ("Harvey's Tune").
All the tunes make effective templates for the kind off-the-cuff music-making that in less capable hands might have resulted in simple noodling. In fact, although Bloomfield and Stills don't play together on any of the cuts (Bloomfield played on one side of the original LP, Stills on the other), all three principals get off lots of good licks and producer Kooper has some interesting tricks up his sleeve, as in the over-the-top phasing he lavishes on "You ...

The Fall had only been together a couple of years by the time they recorded this 1979 live set in Retford, but they'd already established one of the most forceful and distinctive aesthetics on the punk scene. Led by Mark E. Smith's literate verbal associations and snarling speak-sing delivery, the band--especially live--was a maelstrom of clanging guitars and stuttering rhythms.
Recorded not long after their landmark live set LIVE AT THE WITCH TRIALS, this ...
